As part of the drive, the railways also established "waste to arts selfie points" at 452 stations to encourage public participation and raise awareness about cleanliness.

"The drive was undertaken not only to enhance the aesthetics of railway stations and tracks, but also highlight the importance of environmental conservation and waste management in the rail network, reflecting the railways' commitment to maintaining a cleaner and greener environment for passengers," a railway ministry statement said.
